Chapter 1

I woke up and I was in a hospital. He was right there when I woke up. I had no idea who he was. Come to find out he was my husband. I had been in a coma for 5 years. He was so handsome. His name was Leo. How did I get so lucky? My head was hurting and the doctors came rushing in when they heard I had awoke. All I could think was, who am I? I asked what the date was and they told me 2010. Sophie? Thats my name. Nikki came in right behind the doctors crying, your awake!!!!!! She looked at Leo in suspense. Something was up. His face turned pale and sick looking.The doctors gave me an examine and some pain meds. All of a sudden the pain was gone. My body went numb and my eyelids felt heavy and i drifted back asleep.
5 years prior-
I was in the fashion industry, very successful in the world of fashion. Work kept me busy and so did all the parties. Thats where I met Leo, he was one of the models for the Mode magazine. I drank a glass of wine asking Kevin who is that guy? Oh Leo? You see Kevin is my best friend. He keeps me up to date with all the juicy details and also keeps my butt in check even when the reality hurts. He motioned for Leo and Kevin introduced us. It was love at first sight. The next 3 months were blurry bc it was work and Leo. I needed my sister. I remember calling Nikki so we could have lunch and catch up and also to tell her I was in love. She also had news for me, Larry was dying which was her husband. I didnt have the heart to tell her I was in love so I listened to her bc thats what little sisters do. The next runway show was coming up and it was going to be the biggest and newest thing to hit Denmark. It was going to make or break my career. But then im like no its gonna make my career bc people need to be bold and creative.. Thats what my line was about. Leo was the last model on the runway... All of a sudden everything stopped..Leo grabbed the microphone as Colbie Callait was playing and announced he was the luckiest man in the world to have found someone like me, Sophie. IN front of everyone he asked me to marry him... I started to cry as he was on one knee. The ring was a star diamond ring... I screamed yes and we walked on the runway and striked a pose and everyone was cheering and applauding......... Omg where's Kevin..I cant wait to tell him..............

Want to know more about Sophie and Leo and the twisting story......... Come back next time and read the latest of what happened in those 5 years and what led up to her comma.

I love coffee! I love the fact I can write whatever I want to!!!

When is it ok to fire a client?

I always believe if your sick, you should stay home. Why give the crap to more people. As a hairstylist, this happens quite frequently. You would think my immune system would be strong but of course the poor little thing is weak and always fighting. I try hard to be healthy. I work out atleast 3 times a week, I take vitamins, drink water and OJ all the time and I eat mostly healthy. Ive been cooking more so Im eating less out of packaged meals and more homecooked meals. Im almost embarrassed to tell people Im sick bc it seems like Im always sick and I feel like people think IM making it up. HOnestly why would i pretend? I want so badly but to just feel good and normal and be able to be with my friends more. Its so cold here in Memphis though that IM hibernating anyways. My body cant handle the extreme low temps. So since Christmas Ive had this awful sinus infection. I dont have health insurance but I went anyways and the doc gave me steroids and a antibitoic. I have this client who calls and cancels her appointments all the time. Well she tries to make one and she sounds awful on the phone saying she has a fever. I tell her trying not to be rude, I dont have insurance and I would appreciate it if you would stay home. The next day she calls saying she talked to her doc and he said she wasnt contagious. Christmas Eve she comes in acting like she owns the place and plops down in my chair for me to do her hair. The next day I come down sick..Hrmmmm I wonder why? So now she called this week and was like I need in before noon and IM like Im sorry Im booked and shes like well im going to the doc so ill call back,.... Next day she calls, the receptionist tells me she sounds awful on the phone and needs a hair appt. OKie first of all her hair is beautiful curly... Its short but she wants it blowdried and flat ironed. So here this woman is sick again sounding like death on the phone wanting to come in. I get the receptionist to call back and say Im booked until the following week that way she has time to get well and bc I dont want that crap. So listen to this........She has an appt for this coming Tues...Sat she called saying she would like an appt. She didnt say who she was and the receptionist was like yes she has an opening then she tells her the name and the receptionist is like ruh oh. The client goes on saying its her birthday Monday..... When the receptionist tells me that Im mad.. How can it be her birthday when she told me last time it was her birthday??? Just bc I see alot of people everyday doesnt mean Im forgetful!!! What a sneaky bitch trying to con her way into my chair being sick. First of all she is not respecting the fact I dont have health insurance and I would like to NOT get sick. So we called her back and told her the truth..Im sick and Im going home, you can keep ur appt on Tues if you would like. I swear I think I need to fire her from being my client... I love doing hair but I also believe you shouldnt manipulate and mistreat the people who take care of you. Whew! So yea I left work yesterday with a migraine... I almost didnt think I was going to make it home.. My eyes were blurry and my head was pounding so hard.. I got home and threw up alot... I passed out in my bed with an icepack on my head... I went numb and passed out. So today I was suppose to go to Sephora to do hair demonstrations with the T3.. But I was at church this morning and had to leave during service bc I could feel another attack about to happen...I hate throwing up so I wanted to prevent that. I went to Walgreens and got some sinus meds and headache meds... Now IM home on the couch while everyone out in the world is going on with their daily lives. I know I will eventually not be sick anymore, just sucks when your actually going through it. I wanna be out, I wanna be doing hair, I wanna be with my friends but right now I need to take care of my body and rest. But good news is one of my clients called in a Zpak and got it for me.. I just hope it works...........I love my clients, I truly do. But this one lady, I think its time for her to be fired.

He knows just what I need

Isaiah 55:9-11 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Why do I worry so much when he knows what he is doing. His ways are so much better than my own. I couldnt even imagine his thoughts, Whoa how I want to know. What are you thinking God?My brain cant even fathom how BIG you are. Just like seeing the snow fall today, you replenish and make the earth flourish. Just one word out of your mouth is so powerful. You cleanse the earth like you cleanse us from our sins. Accomplish whatever you desire through me, find me willing, find me obedient, your favorite one being faithful bc you are my strength and strong tower Lord.Make me new like you do the sunrise everyday.Let your light shine down for all to see just a glimpse of who you are. For you alone are King! YOu are Holy! I want more of you!

What would you say?

What would it look like if I was meeting Jesus face to face? Would I fall to his feet? What would I say? Would I even be able to speak or would I just worship? Words would try to escape from my mouth but no words would describe how perfect he truly is. Would I be so awe struck that I would be blinded by his beauty?Would tears of joy run down my face?
Revelation 7:11
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Revelation 7:10
And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."

I could just imagine being so overwhelmed that I would be crying and he wipe every single tear away.Every tear I cry, he will wipe away. Even though I go through different circumstances, he is always there lifting me up when I dont have the strength to.

Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

So the question I have for you is what would you do or say if you were in the presence of God?I would really like some feedback.
